If he's here, who's running hell?

YouTube - Poker and Bathtub It feels all kinds of wrong for my favorite scene in this movie to not have Denzel in it. Our main character Jake isn't having a good time. Ethan Hawke is doing a hell of an acting job though. I love everything about this scene from the reveal that Alonzo had abandoned him, to escape his company and ending up on the bottom of a bathroom to only be saved by a heroic deed he had done earlier in the movie. The ending scene has probably the most quotable line from the entire thing. YouTube - Godzilla Got Shit On Me Truly every single line that Denzel delivers is poetry which is what makes this scene special. I could probably point out two or three more scenes here where he just does it but instead enjoy my favorite song about Denzel.

YouTube - Tis but a Scratch Alright, we'll all it a draw. The Black Knight is my favorite part of this comedy which has some other good moments I considered. Most of the skits are 8/10s at a minimum, but it's short. It clocks in at 90 minutes but the last words are spoken at about 80 minutes. It had these side clips of someone getting killed and the police investigating until at the end, when the police just show up and arrest the knights and that's the end of the movie. There's probably 60 golden minutes here though.  Links to some other great scenes -  YouTube - Bridge of Death YouTube - Brave, Brave, Brave Sir Robin YouTube - Stay Here, and Make Sure He Doesn't Leave the Room YouTube - What, Behind the Rabbit? and the Holy Hand Grenade YouTube - Knights Who Say Ni!

YouTube - Achilles vs Hector I like 85% of the movie Troy. It's a little too long with a little too much fluff in places. I could watch every minute of either Brad Pitt or Eric Bana though when they are onscreen. So of course my favorite scene is their fight. Every time I watch it, I get a pit because they really treat Hector as the Aragorn of this movie, so it sucks when he dies with 30 minutes left.  However, I have also been re-watching the beginning quite a bit recently. It moves quickly sets the tone of the two main characters, good stuff.  YouTube - The Introduction of Achilles. This one isn't really rewatchable, but it's funny -  YouTube - Hector! Hector! Hector!

YouTube - You Simply Won't Die Gladiator is so very good. It was hard for me to put this movie in the list, because the whole thing is mostly rewatchable. Each of the fights are in contention here. The Tigris of Gaul fight is currently my favorite. It's kind of peak Maximus, where he has to face off against the undefeated Colosseum champion. If I had any complaint, it would be that I wish Tigris had more of a build up, or merely mentioned somewhere else prior in the movie. Here is a nice list of each of the scenes that I considered, but hey might as well just re-watch the whole thing. I'm looking at you future Steve. Many people like the opening battle sequence.  YouTube - Opening Battle Are you not entertained is one of the most famous lines from the movie. YouTube - Are You Not Entertained The reveal to the Emperor is the biggest oh snap moment of the movie. YouTube - My Name is Maximus Decimus Meridius The ending fight against the emperor is also rewatchable. YouTube - M...

YouTube - Wallace's Last Will and Testament to Brendan Gleeson's Hamish YouTube Battle of Stirling I'm already kind of cheating just six movies in by posting two different scenes. The truth is I walk around all day with the following in my head: "You know what happens if you don't take that chance Steve?" "Nothing" But the actual rousing moment of this entire movie (not counting the mace scene) is the Battle of Stirling. Wallace's Freedom speech is a goodie. I don't care how inaccurate this movie is from a historical perspective, or how much of a looney toon that Gibson has become, or always was. I think this movie is fantastic. I don't watch it as much now as when I was younger. We have more options now and 3 hours is a sizeable request. The bronze medal would have to go to Longshanks throwing his son's male lover out the window.

YouTube Link I highly dislike 90% of this movie. From the aliens with nothing interesting to do other than to go pew-pew, to the humans with nothing interesting to do other than run. The humans want to eat each other for a station wagon. Tom Cruise and his entire family are all annoying. The ending is awful, rushed and unearned. The 10% of the movie that I do like involves Tom’s character running from the tripods, or get taken by one. I love the foghorn sound the tripods make. The first introduction of the aliens has a mystery element as well as that haunting sound.
